Mood disorder - 2006/09/01 00:02
Just the other day at the supermarket with my teen, we bumped into an old friend of hers. She waved hello at him, but at first it seemed like he didn’t recognize her. A moment later he was gaping his mouth rudely with surprise. I overheard him saying “I didn’t even know it was you, you look wasted!” I immediately saw my daughter’s whole demeanor change. It’s like her whole body slumped in just that instance. She could hardly stare him in the eyes. My daughter has been struggling with mood disorder and we’ve had her attend therapy for it for the past couple months. She is doing much better than before and she is definitely more stable now. I just felt so bad for her in that encounter with her old friend. I tried to rush things along, but I could just feel it. She really took an emotional blow because of that boy. I’m not sure if I should mention the encounter or let her deal with it on her own.
